After a cooler weekend in the Chicago area, Monday looks to warm up significantly, but the warmer and windy conditions bring with them elevated fire concerns and a chance for rain.

Much of the Chicago area remains under a frost advisory through 8 a.m. Monday, but temperatures are widely expected to climb to above-average levels throughout the day.

Highs Monday are set to reach into the mid-60s, where they will likely stay for the start of the work week before dipping briefly, according to NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman. Rain showers are possible heading into Monday evening and could continue through Tuesday.

The National Weather Service warned that windy conditions Monday could lead to an elevated fire danger before those showers move in.

While temperatures Tuesday are set to stay in the mid-60s once again, a cold front is expected to arrive by Tuesday evening, sending highs back into the upper-40s and low-50s for Wednesday.

Roman noted, however, that long-range projections indicate above-average temperatures are likely between April 29 and May 5.
